I've been toying with the idea of writing a parody of the Monty Python cheese shop sketch as a tea shop but I'm having trouble coming up with the names of enough "real teas" to make it happen and if at all possible I'd like to avoid to having to use herbal. Also the more odd sounding teas like "Chinese Gunpowder tea" and "Yak Butter tea" would be great because not only are they real but others who don't know much about tea might think its a joke. Anyway if I get enough help to make this a reality I'll be sure to either post the finished product or a link to it here so other can read it.

Wait, do you want names of real teas that sound totally off the wall or fictitious tea names that sound totally off the wall? If you want real ones, I can look something up. If you want something made up...give me a few weeks. Come on, everyone, give the man some help in his desperate hour of need!!!

P.S. Congrats on wanting to do a tea-related Monty Python spoof...this should like totally rule

Peach, I thought that it would be funny to use only real teas that sound strange as a bit of a second layer to the joke that pretty much only hardcore tea drinkers would realize that it uses only real tea, as other people would probably think some of the names were made up to sound strange. I have a feeling that the Monty Python cheese shop did the same thing as I started using the Internet to search for them for the first half of the sketch and every tea I didn't recognize turned out to be real when I looked it up.

LUMBERJACK SONG! I haven't heard that since last week when my school friend wouldn't stop singing it. Also, being a Minnesotan that sustains on tea, cheese and british humor this pardoy is a great idea to me
